@foone Can we automate changing each byte to a NOP until we find the one that works? Think brute-forcer, not smarter.

@foone But that's my comfort language.

@foone Are the pixels not quite square?

@foone I get the basic appeal of these.

- rare
- extra keys, hell yeah
- crazy level of dedication to the bit to go far enough to manufacture custom hardware like this

But I've never encountered one in the flesh. Do keyboard hipsters have feelings about this one? Does it have a Premium Feel? Are the switches fancy? Do they have a nuanced travel? Do it thock?

@foone Why does the "z" character look weirdly bold and also mirrored on the death generator for "winners don't use drugs"? It seems to more closely resemble the special "FBI" characters than the rest of the font.

@foone Maybe relevant? https://sfstandard.com/2024/08/23/holden-karau-fight-health-insurance-appeal-claims-denials/

@foone I think it might just barely be able to run Doom. Minimum requirements are 4mb 386

@foone I haven't thought about that game in forever. Loved it... when it would run. Why was it so crashy?

@foone Some sites detect when your mouse leaves the viewport along the top, assumes you must be about to close the tab, and throw up a modal begging you to give them your email address.

This isn't what Brendan Eich intended.

@foone @fschulze @flagbot

@foone CSS has "thick" as a valid value for border-width. Sorry.

@foone That's much better than I expected. Still fits on a floppy.

@foone What's the largest possible valid save file?

@foone I think there may be an unofficial fan port?

@foone Getting strong mid-2000s flashbacks to when distros started switching from alsa to pulseaudio.

It was painful then and I want off Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

@foone The funniest part of this is that it's not like you're going to touch type on a graphing calculator anyway, so the layout doesn't really matter.

@foone If I can find a graphing calculator with a Dvorak layout, we good then, right?
